Facts Collector's edition released on hand-numbered 7" vinyl

Pressed in a limited run of only 1,000 copies, all hand-numbered. Printed on transparent/clear vinyl at 45 rpm, and delivered in a heavier 350 gsm glossy sleeve with a white inner sleeve.

•The Yttling Jazz version of “Fånga vågen” was recorded the same day “Svensk Rost” was released.

•Zero wind instruments on the Yttling Jazz version. On purpose. Since “Svensk Rost” is already packed with horns, Yttling chose not to include a single sax or trumpet blast here. He went with Hammond organ, harmonica and vibraphone instead.

•Pontus Winnberg (Amason and Miike Snow) guests. Björn brought Pontus in on an L100 Hammond organ. Vibraphone and magical harmonica by Mattias Ståhl top it off.

•The track was recorded at Ingrid Studio in Stockholm, owned by Björn Yttling and Pontus Winnberg. It is one of the few remaining legendary studios in Sweden (formerly Lasse Holm's KMH Studios and Polar Studios).

•A heavyweight jazz lineup. On bass and drums you'll hear Dan Berglund (Tonbruket and the Esbjörn Svensson Trio) and Lars Skoglund. Together with Mattias, they are some of the most accomplished musicians in the country.

•Björn Yttling is a sought-after producer and songwriter. He is a longtime collaborator of Lykke Li, but has also worked with names such as Primal Scream, Weezer, The Hives, Robyn, Anna Ternheim, Tom Odell, First Aid Kit, David Lynch and Chrissie Hynde (of the Pretenders).

•Lots of shared connections. Björn Yttling runs the music project Abstract Crimewave (formerly known as Smile) together with Jocke Åhlund (Caesars and Teddybears). The same Jocke who produced several classic Håkan albums and also directed some of Håkan's music videos. Björn has played organ with Caesars. And Håkan toured with Caesars when he was in Broder Daniel. And we could go on and on…

•The first time Björn Yttling saw Håkan Hellström live was at the Accelerator festival in Stockholm in 2000, when he was playing with Nicolai Dunger himself. A well-known clip from that Håkan concert can be found here. Björn was then backstage, as you can see in the clip, because he knew some people in Håkan's band.
